OK, maybe I should clarify. I see one thing by having a sign up
sheet or sending a herald around through the day requesting servers
for that evening. However, I see it a totally different matter to
have people set up for feast, relaxing, having the mindset that they
are going to eat some good food, listen/watch some nice
entertainment, share a table with good friends and then be told,
"BTW, someone from your table has to serve."
I also think that those that serve deserve some sort of payment for
their service. If I have a full staff that is made from members of
my group, their payment would be to eat first (or at least first of
each remove) and (depending on the number) a small token of my
personal thanks. If I were relying on volunteers of the guests I
would at least provide a nice desert just for them and perhaps a
small token of my personal thanks.
